About the piece

Painted in 1838 by George Caleb Bingham, this portrait of Mrs. Henry Lewis captures the quiet dignity of the era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate lace-like patterns of her collar and the soft ruffles of her bonnet, all set against a dark, atmospheric background that brings the sitter into sharp focus.
